We Made It

So we are finally here in Sydney. It's hard to believe that only a week ago we were busy saying goodbye's and packing up our house. The move over here was not without dramas... caused mostly by our "interesting" removalists. As Jodie's brother said - "You pay peanuts and you get monkeys". Well, we definitely got monkey's! But the good news is our stuff all got here eventually - mostly in one piece which surprised us both immensley!



Our first stop on the way over was at Mildura. We only got this far because the removalists didn't finish at our place until 8:30pm! So we headed off a bit later than planned. The place we stayed at in Mildura was sort of like backpackers accommodation, so that was interesting!



The next day, Saturday, we headed off early and got to Wagga Wagga for the next night. On Sunday, we were planning on getting to Sydney to meet the removalists. However after calling them on Sunday morning to make sure everything was on track, they told us that they hadn't even left Adelaide yet! So we decided to detour to Nowra to visit Jodie's Dad, and we stayed the night with him and his family. We even managed to fit in some boogie boarding - well Reuben did and Jodie spent most of the time in the water being scared of the big waves.



So, finally on Monday we arrived in Sydney! The drive here was eventful - very thick fog on the highways and multiple car accidents made the trip slow going. When we arrived we met Karl and Sally-Ann, who are the couple who own the place we are renting. They live in the house on the same property, and are renting the back part granny flat type thing to us. They are very lovely and we hope we will become good friends with them.



More about our time in Sydney so far on the next post.
